Hi.
Welcome to Burned-In Teacher! My name is Amber Harper and I am the creator of BIT. My whole life I have been a big fan of the underdog. I especially became a fan when I became one myself.
Burned-out by teaching or the pressure to use EdTech?
Not sure where to start?
You are in the right place!
Get Burned-In!
The mission of Burned-In Teacher is simple, yet so challenging: Start where you are, set goals, make progress, find support, and take charge of your life as an educator as you beat the beast that is teacher burn-out.

"I have found that from taking time to set goals, taking small steps toward them, and by connecting with other burned-out educators, not only am I not alone, I am empowered."

What is this site all about?
Supporting Burned-out teachers or Educational Technology? The answer is BOTH!
Because I am a passionate educator who has dealt with burn-out more than once and I currently lead sessions and workshops as a Google Trainer and Innovator, this site focuses on those two passions: supporting other burned-out educators AND those who are new to educational technology and are meeting their frustration level.
I support burned-out teachers by:
- Blogging about my and other's experiences with burnout and ways we can bring ourselves out of it
- Offering personal and online teacher coaching to help individuals come out of the burnout
- Building a community of educators, within this site and on social media, seeking an opportunity to connect with one another in a judgement-free environment
I support Educational technology integration by:
- Offering in-person Google and other EdTech workshops to schools, corporations, and businesses
- Blogging about my personal experiences with G Suite and other EdTech tools within my very own classroom
why burned-in?
It took me way too long to realize that I was in control of my happiness at work. I had to tear down that rollercoaster and build a steady bridge. That bridge brought me to Burned-In Teacher.
